Black people have very diverse cultures despite many people thinking there's a generic black culture. One example is the culture of Congolese people and Barbadians, people look similar but the cultures are very different.

Barbadians have a hybrid European (mainly British) and West African culture.

Its very evident in London actually when black Africans and Black Caribbeans live side by aide you can tell the difference in cultures; Black Caribbeans integrate in UK culture much much more easily and seem less uncomfortable with the general culture than Black Africans. This could be due to the fact that Caribbean culture has that European hint for example, speaking English, using common food ingredients and coming from an essentially very similar government structure.

White Europeans look similar, enough yet a white Ukrainian are very different to a white South African...

Irish and Black Americans are very similar culturally. But this could be because I think much of the black American culture was influenced by Ireland. Or both were historically oppressed by British people
